You need to download the registered title for the property next door. There may be a restriction on the Property Register stating that they have no right to air/light which would interfere with neighbouring properties (or of the properties to be developed by the original developer/transferor).

If there is a restriction then you can enforce this against them and stop the development provided that the restriction is made for the benefiting of neighbouring properties, no question.

You can download from the Land registry’s find a property service here:-https://eservices.landregistry.gov.uk/www/wps/portal/!ut/p/b1/04_SjzS0tDQwMTIxMjLXj9CPykssy0xPLMnMz0vMAfGjzOKNjSxMDA1NjDwsjM3MDTxN3dyNDUNMjQ1MjPWDU_P0c6McFQH3SLFU/

If there is no restriction then you would simply have to exhaust your right of objection in accordance with the local authority’s planning policy on the basis of loss of light and/or loss of privacy

This sounds like a reasonable basis to object, but your first avenue for investigation should be to ascertain whether there is a legal restriction registered on their registered legal title. If there is, then you will be able to successfully restrain their development.
